The used configuration file is Config.C in MUON directory. There you have to type : source $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/AlirootRun_MUONtest.script If you do not recover a few Upsilons in their mass region in the file MUONmassPlot.root ========================================================== How to run a MUON generation ========================================================== aliroot root [0] gAlice->Run(10,"$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/Config.C"); 1 single muon of 7 GeV/c in the MUON spectrometer acceptance will be simulated using geant3. Hit information will be store in the root file in the execution directory. If you want to change the option or to define a new directory for hits, you have to do the following before: root [0] gAlice->SetConfigFunction("Config( \"/home/martinez/aliroot/work_NewIO/test/\" , \"box\" );"); ============================================================ How to run MUONCheck macro ============================================================ To check the content of a root data file, the MUONCheck provides a ascii output on screen. To compile MUONCheck.C .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/STEER .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/MUON .L $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/MUONCheck.C++ To Load gSystem->Load("$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/MUONCheck_C.so") To print Kine : (default file is galice.root ) MUONkine() or MUONkine("galice.root",##) for the event number ## To print hits : (default file is galice.root if not MUONhits("toto.root""); ) MUONhits() or MUONhits("galice.root",##) for the event number ## To print digits : (default file is galice.root) MUONdigits() or MUONdigits("galice.root",##) for the event number ## To print rawcluster : (default file is galice.root) MUONrecpoints() or MUONrecpoints("galice.root",##) for the event number ## To print trigger : (default file is galice.root) MUONTestTrigger() or MUONTestTrigger("galice.root",##) for the event number ## .... ============================================================ How to check the Geometry ============================================================ gAlice->Init("$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/Config.C"); .L $ALICE/geant3/TGeant3/G3GUI.C G3GUI() ============================================================ How to check the Geometry with the new Geometrical modeler ftp://root.cern.ch/root/doc/chapter16.pdf http://agenda.cern.ch/fullAgenda.php?ida=a05212 ============================================================ gAlice->Init("$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/Config.C"); gGeoManager->GetMasterVolume()->Draw(); ============================================================ How to run MUONdisplay ============================================================ First you need to perform a full simulation: generation, digitalisation and clusterisation .L $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/MUONdisplay.C MUONdisplay(0,"galice.root") ============================================================ Tracking parameters, cuts, energy loss and physics processes ============================================================ Tracking parameters in MUON are automatically defined by GEANT MUON takes the default values of CUTs and physics processes defined by the Config files, except for the gas mixture medium of the tracking chambers. The CUT's and physics processes of the gas mixture medium is then defined in the galice.cuts file in the data directory. In particular ILOSS parameter MUST be equal unity (1) in order simulate a realistic energy loss distribution (mean value and fluctuations) in the active gas. ============================================================ Tracking of particle in the magnetic field ============================================================ GEANT has two ways for tracking charged particles in the magnetic field: HELIX et RKUTA. HELIX is faster and works well if the gradient of magnetic field is small. For MUON, HELIX is a not a good approximation and we must use RKUTA to get the optimal mass resolution of the spectrometer. The choice of HELIX or RKUTA is done in the config file when the magnetic field is defined: AliMagFMaps* field = new AliMagFMaps("Maps","Maps", TRACKING, FACTOR, MAXB, AliMagFMaps::k4kG); gAlice->SetField(field); TRACKING must be 1 for RKUTA and 2 for HELIX (the default value for aliroot is 2 (HELIX)) FACTOR allows you to set the magnetic field to 0, just putting FACTOR=0. Default value is 1. MAXB is the maximum magnetic field which is 10.T =========================================================== MUON cocktail for physics .............. =========================================================== There is a MUON cocktail generator of the muon sources in the EVGEN directory. This class derives from AliGenCocktail. In the init of this class I have filled the cocktail with the muon sources: J/Psi, Upsilon, Open Charm, Open Beauty, Pion, Kaons. The code needs only the production cross section at 4pi (for the moment this values are in the code since I prefere them do not be modified), and the code calculates the rate of particles in the acceptance, making the scaling based on the number of collisions for the hard probes and on the number of participants for soft sources: Pions and Kaons. In the Genereate of this class all entries in the cocktail are called and we define a "primordial trigger" with requires a minimum number of muons above a Pt cut in the required acceptance. In order to normalized to the real number of simulated events, there are 2 data members in the class fNsuceeded adn fNGenerate which tell us what is the biais source. Enclose an example to use this generator: AliGenMUONCocktail * gener = new AliGenMUONCocktail(); gener->SetPtRange(1.,100.); // Transverse momentum range gener->SetPhiRange(0.,360.); // Azimuthal angle range gener->SetYRange(-4.0,-2.4); gener->SetMuonPtCut(1.); gener->SetMuonThetaCut(171.,178.); gener->SetMuonMultiplicity(2); gener->SetImpactParameterRange(0.,5.); // 10% most centra PbPb collisions gener->SetVertexSmear(kPerTrack); gener->SetOrigin(0,0,0); // Vertex position gener->SetSigma(0,0,0.0); // Sigma in (X,Y,Z) (cm) on IP position gener->Init(); =========================================================== csh Script for the full reconstruction with raw data generator =========================================================== See file AlirootRun_MUONtest.script in $ALICE_ROOT/MUON ============================================================ How to run MUONRecoCheck macro ============================================================ To check the muon reconstruction by comparing the reconstructed tracks with the reference tracks made of "AliTrackReference" for the hits and kinematic informations (TParticle) for the vertex. This macro can be used to check the track reconstruction e.g. efficiency, momentum resolution ... but also to make physics analysis whenever track identification is needed. To compile MUONRecoCheck.C .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/STEER .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/MUON .L $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/MUONRecoCheck.C+ // To run MUONRecoCheck MUONRecoCheck(nEvent,"galice.root"); // nEvent = nb of events ============================================================ How to run MUONTracker macro ============================================================ To make the track reconstruction directly from AliTrackReference hits which are recorded in TrackRefs.root during the simulation. It can be used to check the reconstruction without clusterization. To compile MUONTracker.C .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/STEER .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/MUON .L $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/MUONTracker.C+ // To run MUONTracker MUONTracker(iEventMin,iEventMax,"galice.root"); // iEventMin: first event =========================================================== Macro MUONGenerateGeometryData.C =========================================================== Macro for generating the geometry data files: (transform_*.dat, svmap_*.dat). - MUON/data/transform_*dat files contain all the information about the transformation (traslation + rotation) needed for the positionning of each detection element of the MUON spectrometer. - MUON/data/svmap_*.dat files contain all the information to link each geant volume (it can be extended to other virtual MC) with a detection element. The point here is that a given detection element, i.e. a slat chamber consists of many geant volumes. the correspondence is then defined in an input file. Eanch time there is a change in the virtual MC geometry, these input files must be re-generated via the macro MUONGenerateGeometryData.C To be run from aliroot: .x MUONGenerateGeometryData.C The generated files do not replace the existing ones but have different names (with extension ".out"). To compare/replace the existing files with generated ones run the scripts in MUON/data: compare_data [transform] [svmaps ] reset_data [transform] [svmaps] Author: I.
